Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been playing GW2 on my laptop at a modest 30 fps for over a year and today I suddenly get sound stutter and low fps going down to 10 when I load into the game. It’s unplayable.

No matter how low I turn the graphics down the issue still persists.

I can’t imagine why this would randomly happen to me? Does anyone have any experience with such issues?

Many thanks.

Is it in all zones, or only certain zones?

I have the same problem too.

FPS get stuck at 10-12 on every zone, on all character regardless of the graphical setup. This problem is happening to more people each day and none of the solutions the Support has been giving me have worked. Seems like this is more serious than I thought.

Solution: I upgraded to Windows 10 and it solved the issue.

For now…

If your system drive was nearly full, Windows will try to compensate which will wreck your performance. Other than that, you probably had something in the background that was heavily using the drive.

Assuming you’re expecting something much higher, ensure that your GPU is in the correct slot. People putting their GPU in the slower secondary slot has been far too common of a problem here, which results in high end computers seeing low FPS.

Hey, so I’m playing on my laptop so I don’t think I shift the graphics card around. Also how would I clear my drive?
